Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 747
Luo Huang and Xiaodao successfully sneaked into Youzhou City.

However, despite this, the two of them did not rush to contact the gatekeeper Yan Bing.

Instead, they first found a place to live, and even bought a house for the two of them, so as not to be suspected.

And at such a moment, the housing prices in Youzhou City can be low.

After the two settled down, they began to investigate all the conditions of the guards. Not all guards could be bribed. They wanted to analyze the specific situation and then take action.

When the two of them were doing this, Luo Yi in Yanwang Mansion had a dignified expression, as if a big event was about to happen.

"What's going on, it's been so long, and the Turks have also taken our money and food, why haven't their soldiers arrived yet?"

Above the lobby, Luo Yi's voice was very cold, and it was obvious that he was angry, angry.

"Is there no news about Turkic?" Luo Yi asked again. At this time, a person stood up: "My lord, there is no movement from Turkic. It seems that there is no intention to make a move."

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of discussion in the lobby.

"What does Turkic mean, take our money, but don't do anything for us?"

"Are they going to abandon me, Youzhou?"

"Without us, their Turkic life would not be easy."

Discussion, discussion, everyone suddenly became a little uneasy.

Before, a large part of the reason why they dared to fight against the Tang army was that they felt that with the backing of the Turks and the presence of the Turks, the Tang Dynasty could not do anything to them.

But if the Turks don't care about them, then they will be caught in the middle and be slaughtered.

They are indeed very loyal to Luo Yi, but being loyal does not mean that they will not worry about their own safety.

And when everyone was discussing like this, Zhuge Wen stood up: "My lord, I'm afraid we were tricked by the Turks."

"What does Mr. Zhuge mean?"

"My lord, there are two situations for this kind of thing to happen. The first one is that the Turks are still adhering to the Weishui alliance and don't want to tear this face away with Li Shimin. If this is the case, we still have some remedies. There is a way, but I’m afraid it’s not.”

"What about the second case?"

"In the second situation, the Turks may have sensed the danger, and intend to fight another big battle with Datang. They are going to sacrifice our Youzhou in order to weaken the strength of Datang. When the two tigers fight and get injured, they will The Turkic army may come again, if this is the case, we have no remedy."

Zhuge Wen's words were like a knife, piercing directly into the hearts of everyone present.

If the Turks abandoned them, what qualifications do they have to fight with Datang?

Whether it is military strength or economic strength, they are no opponents of Datang. When fighting, sometimes it is money.

Moreover, even if they persevered, so what, didn't they fall into the hands of the Turks in the end?

Everyone looked at each other, and Luo Yi's eyebrows became more intense.

"Damn it..." Luo Yi cursed suddenly. This kind of being tricked made him feel more disgusted than Tang Li Shimin slandering him for sending assassins. This simply did not treat Luo Yi as a human being.

This kind of anger made him want to go crazy.

After so many years, he has never been teased like this before. With so much money and food, it makes people feel distressed to think about it.

"My lord, what should we do in this situation?"

"The Turks treated me like this, we must not make it easier for them. This king is going to send an army into the grassland to take revenge on the Turks. What do you think?"

Hearing that the Turks were going to take revenge, many people present looked a little ugly.

Now they have offended Datang, if they offend Turks again, then they will have a bad life.

Everyone looked at Zhuge Wen. In this situation, only Zhuge Wen could persuade Luo Yi.

Zhuge Wen thought for a while, and then said: "My lord, it is not impossible to do this, but we might as well wait a little longer. If we can resist the Tang army, we don't have to offend the Turks, otherwise we can obviously hold it. In the end, because he offended the Turks, but was flanked by both of them and fell, the gain outweighed the loss, the prince wanted to vent his anger, and his subordinates understood, but it is better not to do this unless it is absolutely necessary."

Zhuge Wen had no objection to Luo Yi venting his anger on the Turks, but that was just a last resort when he was desperate. If they still had a choice now, they might as well be patient.

After everyone heard Zhuge Wen's words, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they don't offend the Turks, they stick to Youzhou City, maybe they really have a chance.

Luo Yi hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Just listen to Mr. Zhuge, what happened to Tang Jun recently?"

Since they didn't provoke the Turks, they don't have to worry too much about the Turks now, because the Turks would not attack them if they want to make a profit. So Qin Tian and the others are the ones he is most worried about and nervous about.

"My lord, it seems that Tang Jun's food and grass are not enough, so I sent someone back to Beijing to ask for food and grass."

Luo Yi nodded: "If the Tang army can't keep up with the food and grass, naturally there is no way to continue fighting with us."

Speaking of this, he suddenly said: "Tang Jun is going to ask for food and grass, can we do something?"

These words obviously had a certain intention, and after he said that, everyone turned their eyes to Zhuge Wen again, Zhuge Wen smiled wryly, although he is a military adviser, you can't ask yourself everything?

But despite thinking this way, Zhuge Wen still quickly said: "My lord, the best way is to prevent Qin Tian and the others from getting the food and grass from the court. We might as well send people into the city to play by ear. Besides, the food must pass through On the way, some people were left behind, and if they could take it, they would take it, and if they couldn't, they would be burned, anyway, Qin Tian has no food and grass, and they can't consume us."

It is a bit difficult for the capital to do something. If in the past, relying on his status as the King of Yan, there would be many people willing to do things for him, but now that Li Shimin is attacking him, who would dare to have contact with him?
Humans are animals that seek good fortune and avoid evil.

However, even in this situation, it is not impossible for him to do anything. After thinking about it, Luo Yi nodded: "Okay, then send Luo Shisan to Beijing, and Luo Shisan will lie in ambush on the way, waiting for the Tang army's food and grass." Well, if Tang Jun really wants to return the food and grass, you will take those food and grass from me on the way and burn them."

Luo Shisan and Luo Shisan, like Luo Han, are both adopted sons of Luo Yi, similar to all vassal kings with different surnames. Luo Yi also likes adopting sons, especially after his son Luo Cheng died in battle. He is even more so.
